You are invited to submit any question anonymously (or not) for the Trust to answer. It can be about foundation etiquette, what makes a strong proposal or what are some of the common blunders good nonprofits unwittingly make. There is no telling what our nonprofits wish they knew about foundations or wish foundations knew. Send your question to staffer Phil Anthropy.
